Serena Williams’ Biggest Threats to Second French Open Title

Serena Williams has been dominant through the first four rounds of the 2013 French Open and it seems likely that she’ll cruise toward her second career title at Roland Garros. Williams, the tournament’s No. 1 seed, has only lost 10 games in four matches thus far, which is remarkable. In her most recent victory over No. 15 seed Roberta Vinci in the fourth round, Williams barely broke a... 

French Open 2013: Odds of Each Major Contender Winning It All

There’s a strong chance that the 2013 French Open will be won by one of the top three seeds in the tournament: Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal. No one outside of those three has won at Roland Garros since 2004. Nadal has accounted for seven of the titles, while Federer won it all back in 2009. Djokovic, while winless at the French Open, has the championship on the tip of his tongue. Djokovic,... 

Rafael Nadal Faces Rocky Road to 8th French Open Title

Winning an eighth French Open title isn’t going to be a walk in the park for Rafael Nadal. Nadal, the winner of the last three championships at Roland Garros, defeated Novak Djokovic in the final a year ago. A finals rematch, however, won’t be in the works in 2013. Instead, if Nadal and Djokovic manage to win their matches through the quarterfinals, they’ll meet in a blockbuster semifinal. The...

How Rafael Nadal’s Absence Impacts the Field at 2013 Australian Open

Rafael Nadal won’t have the opportunity to get his revenge on Novak Djokovic after falling in the 2012 Australian Open final. ESPN reports that Nadal has pulled out of the 2013 Australian Open due to a stomach virus: “My knee is much better and the rehabilitation process has gone well as predicted by the doctors,” Nadal said in a statement. “But this virus didn’t... 

Wyndham Championship 2012: Why Webb Simpson Will Win Back-to-Back Titles

Webb Simpson’s first career PGA Tour win came last year at the Wyndham Championship, and he’s in great position to win it for the second straight year. Simpson won in Greensboro, North Carolina after finishing 18-under par and three strokes ahead of George McNeill, who finished in second place. Simpson didn’t start so hot—sitting at three-over par through the first four holes—but... 

PGA Championship 2012: Why Adam Scott Will Capture Final Major

Adam Scott has played well during the previous three major tournaments this year, but he has yet to come out on top. That will change on Sunday when he wins the 2012 PGA Championship.

At Royal Lytham & St. Annes, of course, Scott collapsed during the final round after...

Jim Furyk has played very well through the first two days at the 2012 Bridgestone Invitational, but there’s no way that he keeps it up through the weekend.

One of the main reasons for Furyk’s opening round success was...
